A very easy (although not very robust) way to do this is the Invoke method. Like this:

 void OnTriggerEnter() // For example
 {
   Invoke("ChangeScene", 10); // 10 seconds delay
 }

 void ChangeScene()
 {
   SceneManager.LoadScene("Some scene");
 }

You can improve this code a bit by using nameof:

 void OnTriggerEnter() // For example
 {
   Invoke(nameof(ChangeScene), 10); // 10 seconds delay
 }

 void ChangeScene()
 {
   SceneManager.LoadScene("Some scene");
 }

@ Diamonddoggames Not sure if the answer above worked for you; but I use something closer to what you described. This is only a temporary feature that I intend to remove, but once certain scenes are loaded, a timer starts. When timer reaches 0, the scene auto switches back to the original scene. The way it was designed, the countdown displays on-screen, but you don't have to do that.

Here is the code I use. I tried to strip out everything but the timer scripting.

 public class Timer : MonoBehaviour 
      {     
              public string leveltoload;         
             private float timer = 10f;     
             private Text timerseconds;              
 
             void Start ()          
             {     
                         timerseconds = GetComponent<Text>();     
             }     
 
              void Update ()          
                 {
                                 timer -= Time.deltaTime;     
                            timerseconds.text = timer.ToString("f0");      
                            if (timer <= 0)     
                            {     
                         Invoke("LoadScene", 2.5f);     
                    }         
                   }
 
                           void LoadScene()     
                 {     
                  SceneManager.LoadScene("OLYMPUS");     
             }
      }
